Restorative Practices Youth Leadership Cohort
WHAT IS IT:
- An opportunity for young people, 9th – 12th grade, to build relationships, community, and develop an understanding of restorative ways of being and leadership.
- The cohort begins with a 4 day Restorative Retreat centering youth, anti-racism, cultural and racial awareness and practices of self & community care.
- After Retreat, you are invited to join us in a 9 month cohort building on the experience. Your time & energy matter, so you will receive a $100 stipend each month you attend September 2025- May 2026.
- This is YOUR space to build genuine connections, step into leadership, and learn ways of healing that actually work-for yourself and your community.
WHEN IS IT?
- Restorative Practices Retreat will be August 19th – 22nd, 10AM-3PM, in South Minneapolis.
- The 9-month cohort meets in person, 3rd Saturdays, 10am-1pm, & 1 hour online each month.
